New to Hydro have some questions.

  1. whats the best system for new growers?
  2. how much room per plant is optimal (1sq foot good)?
  3. best fertilizers to use?
  4. lighting is one 400 HPS good size for a 4x4 Mylar grow tent?
  5. I'm thinking 2 6in inline fans for ventilation? (along with carbon filter on exhaust fan)
  6. good seeds for new growers i was thinking of maybe Barney's Farm LSD, white widow?
thanks for any help.

  1. whats the best system for new growers? DWC is super easy
  2. how much room per plant is optimal (1sq foot good)? depends on growung style
  3. best fertilizers to use? i like GH 3-part but there are many good ones out there
  4. lighting is one 400 HPS good size for a 4x4 Mylar grow tent? 400 would be fine, but 600 would be optimal
  5. I'm thinking 2 6in inline fans for ventilation? (along with carbon filter on exhaust fan) 1 - 6" will do the trick
  6. good seeds for new growers i was thinking of maybe Barney's Farm LSD, white widow? WW,, w/e you want to grow :P

imo, coco-coir is the easiest of any medium to grow in. it's like soil, but is treated as hydro. for a good yield, grow in 5 gallon container, i do. the container and plant together end up taking about 3' x 4' of space, give or take. i like the house and garden coco specific line for nutes. 400 is fine. the 6" fans are what i use. i set one right on top of my filter. the strain you use doesn't really matter. if you're gonna grow multiple strains, keep in mind feed strengths will vary.

4. i used to have a 4x4x6 tent with a 600w in it...wished it was a 1000w...now i have a 4x2x5 tent with a 400w...wish it was a 600w...the cost upfront and running them isnt really that much between a 400 to a 6 or a 6 to a 1000 if that makes any sense
5. what are the cfms of the fans? are they nice inline can fans or or cheap duct fans from home depot? if u get a 6" can fan or something similar then you will only need one...if you get the cheapies from HD then you will need more than one
6. lemon skunk was great for me as a beginner

retarded .
says the man who bought clones on craigslist!!
since you ask ...
once i had an ad on craigslist for clones and a guy asked me to trade clones rather than clones for cash. i trusted his word cause he sounded legit and i took a couple clones from him.
If the OP is new, I say bag seed because there is no sense wasting money on seedbank seeds for an experiment. How many threads have we seen with high $$ seed for the newbie to kill the plants? Practice with bag seed, develop your system then move up.
If you insist on buying seed, cant go wrong with Northern Lights

I agree 100 percent DO NOT Use bag seeds or clones you don`t know the history bottom line you get what start with (start with crap you will grow crap)

one of the fans (would be at the bottom of the tent would be a cheap one the fan at the top is a vary nice multi speed inline.) but from what others are saying ill probably just use the inline up top and maybe a small fan next to the plants if need be.
 
a few of my friends have experience growing (outdoors) so im not to worried I can always refer to them for help, i'm more curious about growing good strains.

its a fucking weed and were growing it. its goddamn simple. do not suggest to anyone that they should grow bagseed, when THEY ARE ASKING WHICH SEEDS TO BUY. it is RETARDED!

this was the best genes to hit my garden BYFAR in terms of quality, bag appeal, smell/taste etc ...
the plants barely stretched, i only grew them a few inches before switching the lights, therefore the yield was poor.
i did NOT keep them around

im with rzza, hammer, and KV...dont grow bag seed...throw them in a field outside somewhere and come back a few months later to see what you got...for your first indoors, go with something on the cheaper side...like genes from nirvana or seedman seeds...i tried growing northern lights n im sure it wasnt the pheno and im sure i messed up some things but the product sucked...just a heads up...after your first couple of grows with nirvana or other cheapies seed banks, and you get the hang of things, then go to a barneys farm or reserva privada, etc. and spend the cash on some excellent genes...then the hunt for the perfect mom is on

Stop being an asshole rzza. A different opinion then yours doesn't make him retarded. If you don't have the experience, your suggesting $50-60 seeds?! why, is time of the essence? I should have probably started off with bagseed.

Now this makes sense. Nirvana has some fairly cheep seeds, and their just unstable enough to give you a variety of pheno's to choose from to make your mommy out of. :blsmoke:

Fair enough, but no need to drop down to name calling over it. Is that so hard?
